It is tricky. There are some guidelines regarding citations, fair-use

and also what makes up a composition or musical idea.
Using only two notes which are evenly spaced quarter notes in a sequence

of 3 bars still has sufficient entropy. Themes have been built with

less. e.g. Beethoven's 5th ta-ta-ta-dahhh :)
Copying, quoting, paraphrasing, plagiarism, attribution and stealing

have a long history in all arts. The legal and moral acceptance varies

from time to time and culture to culture.

The way I see it, in the current western culture: you're fine until you

start making big money or prevent someone else from making money.  ..and

then no guidelines or copyright-law will help you, only a good lawyer

can. In fact, you'll need a better lawyer :(
